The reading of a thousand books, starts with one....

The books for LKG seem to be quite reasonable, a math workbook for 1 to 10 numbers, an English alphabet book, A picture book (My daughter seems to have taken a particular liking to this one) and a few notebooks.

The Tamil reader, a rhyme book and a story book will be handed out when the school begins, along with a crayon box and a packet of moulding clay.

They have also given a CD with a few rhymes and songs, the quality of which is OK, if you have listened to baby songs and a few other toddler Cd's that are commercially available, this may not match up.

On the whole the portions for LKG looks very reasonable and appropriate.

SBOA School Bus and Transport alternatives

The School bus facility at SBOA School and Junior College is for students of class LKG to class 5. The fee for the bus ranges from Rs.1800 to Rs.2300 per term depending on the distance travelled. The school bus picks up students from a point on the route closest to the students residence and drops them back at the same point. If the parent is not around to receive the child, the child is taken back to the school and the parents have to arrange to collect their wards from the school. The other option available is to send them via private vans. This is definitely more convenient as the pick up and drop are usually at your doorstep or closer than the school bus drop point and they usually wait for a few extra Min's. The biggest drawback is that all the operators use Mahindra vans(The green boxy ones) and they are not very comfortable. Swaraj Mazda or even a tempo traveller would be nice, but I guess only if a big group of parents go out of their way to find one, the situat...

To Market, To Market to buy a Great Bag

Whoever thought Bag shopping would become such a big event! I just discovered that my 3 year old has preferences in the style of bag she wants to take to school ! all this without any peer influence as of yet! God help me when that happens too! Jan sport was my choice of bag, but the cost factor made me look at other options too, as you might have already guessed, nothing matched up! Then Lo and Behold, we did find the perfect first school bag at Reebok, Besant Nagar , at a cool price of Rs.360 ( MRP Rs.599 with a 40% discount) a Red and Black one that fit her like magic! Harry potter isn't the only one who is school supplies shopping with wonder in his eyes! With that put behind us, now it's on to Lunch box, water bottle , lunch bag, pencil box, hair accessories, etc, etc. If any of you had luck with these, let me know......

SBOA School and Junior College, Anna Nagar Western Extension, Chennai; affiliated to CBSE - LKG Interview

We had applied for a seat in LKG at SBOA School and Junior College, Anna Nagar Western Extension, Chennai; affiliated to CBSE on the 21st of Jan 2009. The interview was scheduled for the 31st Jan 2009. We just completed the interview yesterday. We were worried that we might have to wait for ever as there were over a thousand candidates to be interviewed (For, I guess around approximately 600 seats). However, the interview process was conducted so smoothly that it must have taken considerable amount of planning from the SBOA school authorities. We were through with the entire process within an hour, including a waiting time of around 40 Min's. The interviewer was friendly and asked my daughter a few simple questions like her name, colour of the dress she was wearing and to name a couple of common animals (by showing her toy animals). On the whole a very friendly and non-intimidating interview. After this, the applications get passed to another school staff, to whom t...
